Multiple award-winning Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has appealed to the President Akufo-Addo to open Ghana’s borders to enable Ghanaians stuck outside the country since the Coronavirus outbreak to return and reunite with their respective relatives. 

Sarkodie made his request on social media, hours after the President announced that the partial lockdown had been lifted. The lockdown was imposed on some parts of Accra, and Kumasi to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus outbreak. 

He posted; "Mr president @NAkufoAddo you’ve done so well with how you handling this pandemic, we appreciate your effort But please can we open the borders for at least a day or two in between time for citizens stuck outside to get back pls."

Sarkodie refers to the likes of Pappy Kojo who has been stuck in Italy since the outbreak of the Coronavirus, as both Italy and Ghana have enacted travel bans to stop individuals in and out to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.

Ghana’s air, sea and land borders were closed on Sunday, March 22, 2020 following an order by President Akufo-Addo as part of efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
